LAST LIGHT

Short Film (2026)


A minimalist short film shooting in Berlin in April/May 2026, directed by Eli Gothill. The shoot will last 3–4 days and take place in a hotel and the surrounding area.

Logline

A woman’s suicide attempt is interrupted by a nuclear catastrophe. Wandering through a silent city in a dissociative state, she witnesses death and destruction without reaction — until the light of dawn awakens her grief.

Casting

We are casting the following paid, non-speaking roles:

WOMAN (female, 25–45)

You check into a hotel intending to end your life, only to be confronted by a disturbing situation that triggers an emotional rupture.

This is a quiet, physical performance with no dialogue. You have strong screen presence and can hold attention without “playing” emotion. You can convey detachment and raw feeling through stillness, movement, and restraint.

HAZMAT WORKERS (2 roles, any gender, 20–50)

Government workers operating in a disaster zone. You appear in a hazmat suit and gas mask and perform calm, procedural actions (no dialogue).

You are comfortable wearing protective gear for extended takes.

DEAD EXTRAS (5 roles, any gender/age)

You have collapsed and died on your way to work, home, or the shops. You lie motionless on the pavement in the early morning.

You are comfortable staying still for extended takes and wearing fake blood.

All roles are paid (freelance contract provided) and fully credited.
Meals/snacks, tea and coffee provided.
